DRAM init is quite simple on the I.MX6. Also it is quite simple to turn on all peripheral clocks. The IOMUX stuff could be a little bit challenging as I don't know the current sw architecture coreboot uses on ARM. > As far as I know, the focus of ARM development in coreboot is on Exynos5 > (Cortex-A15). We are currently booting Exynos5250 and Exynos5420 systems.
